Simbi completed her 137-day fight against FIP on 17th August 2026
Because of her weight loss, high WBC, low RBC and high Albumin, we were so scared that it was a relapse. But with your prayers, we don't think so now.
- No fever and no fluid in abdomen as per her last USG report.
- She is eating again: From 1-1.5 packs, she is now eating 2-2.5 packs (140-170 gms) wet food + a little dry food every 1-2 hours. I am still hand-feeding her, but this progress means the world to us.
- She has gained ∼200 gms in the last 12-15 days.
- Her poop is good.
- She has started going out, roaming a little and coming back home.
- And yesterday morning, she finally played with a big feather 🪶 after months. Seeing her play again was the happiest moment for me.
Seeing all these small signs, we really don't think it's a relapse.
Last vet update:
The vet had prescribed Doxycycline, Furever Cobalaforte and Synfosium. Her 10-day Doxycycline course ended on 28th Aug.
Now the vet has suggested blood tests to check if her WBC, RBC and Albumin are back in range. Last time she was dehydrated so she needed saline, and she is still slightly dehydrated, so she will need Subcutaneous Fluid Therapy again.
We have an appointment on Wednesday, 2nd September ( Tommorow ) for her blood tests. We need to get it done urgently.
Yesterday I had posted for her funds, and received ₹1000. I am posting again because her blood tests are on 2nd September and we cannot miss them. Without these tests we won't know if she is truly recovering.
I am really trying but I cannot do this alone.
I am just 20 years old, a student, trying my best to take care of her. I am not capable of giving her the best things in the world, but I am trying my best with my savings.
Simbi was a stray who used to visit our house. But because of her FIP treatment I had to keep her inside, and now I cannot let her go back to the streets again. Our house is her safe place - when it rains, when other cats fight outside and she gets scared, when there are loud DJ sounds or firecrackers - she runs inside. This is her home now. I just cannot leave her.
Even feeding her is getting so expensive. Wet food alone costs Rs. 500 every 3 days and I am managing that from my savings. But the tests and medicines are too expensive for me to manage alone.
Today I ordered Sheba wet food which will only last us a week, and Royal Canin dry food to try. She tried Royal Canin for the first time and absolutely loved it! Since she's only eating dry food on her own right now, I'm thinking of giving her the best food possible if I can.
Right now, funds for her tests and medicines are most urgent.
